Swage: Connection point of the suture and the needle. Little teeth grip the suture material and prevent it from slipping out. 2. Wire Diameter: Gauge or thickness of the needle wire originally used to form the needle body. 3. Needle Length: Distance measured along the circumference of the needle, from the point to the swage. 4. Radius: Distance from the center of an imaginary circle that would be formed by the needle if it were round. The radius is measured to the middle of the needle wire. Needle Point Chord Length Swage Needle Radius Needle Body Needle Length Wire Diameter Needle Shapes Straight 1/8 Circle 1/4 Circle 3/8 Circle 1/2 Circle Bi-curve 5. Chord Length: Straight line distance from the point of a curved needle to the swage. 6. Point: The sharpened part of the needle that first penetrates the tissue. 7. Needle Shapes: Different surgeries or surgical techniques demand different needle shapes. Needles are available in the following shapes: straight, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 circle and also in various bi-curve shapes.

Pak is the most advanced, sophisticated needle and suture delivery system available to the ophthalmic surgeon. This simple, practical approach to suture handling is clearly demonstrated by a delivery system which effectively: ■ Keeps suture material free of tangles. ■ Protects the sharpness of the needle. ■ Locates the suture mid-point for single arming. ■ Stores the second needle and suture until needed. ■ Allows needleholder-arming without touching the needle. ■ Provides a disposable pad for needle count. ■ Prevents waste when needle and suture are not used. Double sterile packaging allows reuse. 1. Cut loop to single arm. Suture will be of two equal lengths. 2. Gently remove suture material from slots and unwind before removing the needle. 3. Hold ASSIST-O.R. Pak as shown. Grip needle in needleholder and remove with gentle rotation. 4. Needle can be repositioned by using ASSIST-O.R. Pak. No need to touch needle. 5. ASSIST-O.R. Pak becomes needleholder for count and disposal at end of surgery. USP Specifications for Suture Sizes Class I – silk or synthetic fibers of monofilament, twisted or braided construction.

Lewis, M.D. (9 minutes) 3/90 Technique developed for fixating posterior chamber IOLs in the ciliary sulcus. Alcon worked with Dr. Lewis to develop the Lewis PAIR PAK® Fixation Suture specifically for this procedure (Product Number 8065304901 ). It is a 12” polypropylene suture, double armed, with an SC-5 straight needle and an AUM-5 needle. H-06 Techniques for Horizontal Closure Robert Osher, M.D. (5 minutes) 5/91 Two case reviews of the technique developed by Dr. Osher for closing the cataract wound via horizontal technique. Dr. Osher describes the method of horizontal closure with the addition of two radial bites for the younger patient. H-12 Double Transscleral Sulcus Fixation with James S. Lewis, M.D. James S. Lewis, M.D. (10 minutes) 1/94 Dr. Lewis describes an advanced technique for suturing lenses in the sulcus without the need for making scleral flaps. The technique involves the use of a 27-gauge straight needle and a specially designed Alcon suture. Using the Lewis technique, the surgeon gains exact placement of the lens haptics in the sulcus. H-17 Repair of Congenital Ptosis Using the Frontasis Suspension Procedure with Autogenous Fascia M. Edward Wilson, M.D. (29 minutes) 4/96 Dr. Wilson repairs a congenital ptosis using the fascia harvested from the leg of the young boy. Dr. Wilson first describes and then demonstrates harvesting the fascia and then performs the frontalis suspension of the eyelid. thhe use of BIOSORB® to close the would is described. H-18 Double Transscleral Sulcus Fixation with James S. Lewis, M.D. M. Edward Wilson, M.D. (21 minutes) 4/96 Dr. Wilson performs the lateral rectus muscle resection and combines with the oblique muscle transposition. He describes the use of the new I-4 suture needle and BIOSORB. H-19 Managing the Posterior Capsule During Pediatric Cataract Surgery M. Edward Wilson, M.D. (20 minutes) 7/96 Dr. Wilson performs three cataract procedures with an emphasis on management of the posterior capsule. He explains his technique and rationale as he procedes through each case. The wounds in all three cases are closed with 10-0 BIOSORB on a CU-5 needle.
